3 Things: Remembering 9/11

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
When you need to know she's got you. It's three TI, Hi,
good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Or just before eight o'clock. I'm checking in on you.
It is obviously nine to eleven. Temperatures are going to
be in the eighties once again this afternoon, and then
over the weekend we'll see some remnants of the hurricane
with some scattered showers Friday through Saturday and Sunday. There
twenty three years ago, and you know, I'll play some
audio for you here in a second.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
But I'm a part of that era that was.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Young but old enough to somewhat know what was going on,
but have vague memories. I mean, anything that's twenty three
years old is going to have vague memories. But I
was in the sixth grade and I remember standing in
the hallway of my middle school and my Spanish teacher
just kind of freaking out a little bit. And then
I get home and my stepmom said, I'm gonna wait
until your father gets home. And I don't really remember

(00:54):
anything outside of that, and maybe just the effect that
it had on my parents, noticing some of the ways
that they act a little bit different ever since then.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
But here we are, twenty three years later.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Twenty three years ago, this nation was under attackle In
just a couple of hours, families of these thousands of
victims will gather together for the reading of the names.
Throughout the ceremonies, six moments of silence will be observed,
acknowledging when each of the World Trade Center towers was
struck and fell, and times corresponding to the attack on
the Pentagon and the crash of United.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Airlines Flight ninety three.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I've read that you see is going to be running
the steps today where the Bearcats play and flags will fly.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
At half mass.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
There's been hundreds of things that have come out in
the twenty three years since, documentary stories, articles, etc. One
of my favorites is a story that former President Barack
Obama posted maybe last year or the year before about
the boy with the red bandana, And it's a wonderful
documentary on YouTube, But essentially, this boy was working at
the Twin towers.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You always want to to be a firefighter.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
He went back in and kept helping people and helping people,
and he wore a red bandana around his face, and
his mother was devastated that he perished in the collapse.
But years and years later, people that were helped by
the boy with their red bandana came eventually put the
pieces of the puzzle together, and now we have this
long standing story about the boy with the red bandana,

(02:22):
and there's a charity for him, and this all sorts
of things, and so I highly recommend that one on
YouTube if you're looking for something to troll on your phone.
At some point today, you know what, why don't we
leave it here? Typically I do three things, but let's
honor nine to eleven today, that is September eleventh, of course,
coming up in our eight o'clock hour. We're commercial free

Speaker 1 (02:44):
